Why, you might ask? Kale is packed with vitamins and antioxidants, not to mention you can stir-fry it, toss it in a salad, or bake it (hello, kale chips). Here is a quick 11List to jazz up those leafy greens.

I found a similar recipe to this on the back of a bag of lettuce from Trader Joe’s (another one of my obsessions): instead of pecorino cheese, toss in some Brie and bacon bits (yum!). Also, in addition to the olive oil/lemon juice, add a splash of white wine vinaigrette for a tangier flavor.

For a super-easy and healthy snack, check out this basic recipe for kale chips. You can go wild and add any spice that you want to give it some great flavor. You can even sprinkle a little cheese on top… (My family is from the Midwest, so cheese is considered a condiment). Also, if you go on Pinterest there are approximately 2347243789342894 pins on Kale Chips alone.

A very interesting (and green!) take on a Caesar wrap. I am not a tofu fan, so I would swap that out for some sautéed chicken, and probably add some shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese (sorry, can’t help it).

What?! Yes, Kale Brownies are a thing, and though they might not be Paula Deen’s recipe (another stick of butter, ya’ll), they’re a very adventurous and “healthy” alternative for a dessert favorite. Give it a try, and if you’re sharing with friends, don’t mention the kale.

Of course since kale is so trendy now there are millions of recipes out there- do you have any favorites?
